Summary
Severe injuries following a trap from a clever target forced the MacTavish couple into retirement after long years of serving. Their days of domestic bliss and healing were interrupted by the news of the death of Soap's stepsister, who left behind shallow grief and a newborn baby. With all of his other family long passed away in a tragic accident, Soap was the only family member left to make the difficult choice for the fate of the little girl:
Either adopt her, or give her into state care.
After just one visit to little Millie, his answer was clear - he won't let her be taken.
Or
Soap and Ghost retire in Scotland and adopt a baby.

Summary
Turning 40 was supposed to be celebrated. It was another milestone, another decade completed. It wasn’t as revered as 30 was, but people still threw parties and highlighted their 40th birthdays. Yet Ilya wasn’t unaffected. In fact, he was the complete opposite—he dreaded this birthday.
He should be happy. He had a wonderful husband, a beautiful home, and a daughter, whom he was (terrified) excited to raise. But he wasn’t. Turning 40 wasn't a fun day—it was a reminder. A reminder that he will have spent 40 years being alive on this Earth, 28 of those existing without his beloved mother.
Irina Rozanova, who was a beautiful and kind woman, who died at 39. Irina Rozanova, whom Ilya found at 12, laying on her side, cold and still with a bottle of pills on her nightstand, the woman who never got to see her 40th year.
He knew this day was coming. He knew that one day he’d have his first year where he would be older than his mother was when she had died (if he even made it to that age). But that didn’t mean he was prepared for the feelings it would bring. And Ilya didn’t know if he could handle them.
(He couldn’t).

Emerald in The House of Sunshine by PopSavy22

Summary
Ochako never expected a break from her back-to-back night shifts or the mountain of debt breathing down her neck; but boy did she never expect to end up nannying her high school crush’s five-year-old daughter. And that’s before Bakugou and Todoroki had the bright idea to rope her into a quiet little mission of their own:
"Coaxing the former Number One back into the field."
Juggling a bright-eyed kid and nudging the retired hero in the right direction was hard enough, catching feelings for him all over again? That was never part of the mission.

Summary
With the tensions of the Moe Kitchener murder resolved, Lilly has residual troubles and mixed feelings on the events, and she turns to Scotty for company over beer. The conversation and night take a turn neither planned, both vulnerable and emotionally threadbare, and in the months to follow, lines are blurred, crossed and taped back together until Lilly accepts the offered role at the FBI. Then six years later, Lilly returns to her hometown, taking the position of a retiring member of PPD, and the world has changed. Nick's happily and loyally married to Megan, Kat's trying to cope with her nearing college-aged daughter, and Scotty's struggling with crappy neighbors who have no respect for anyone, leaving Will Jeffries and John Stillman to play the role of parents for these hopeless kids. But it wasn't only an ache for Philly that's compelled Lilly to go home, and the hectic lives of Philly's finest are about to hit a new high.

Summary
But friends didn't take away any of the pain that sat heavy in his chest, a different kind than any physical injury could inflict. So he kept going, kept steaming ahead, with all his usual work. He didn't pick up extra shifts, because he would have been yelled at, but he did go down to the tech lab and work on his suit. Some things had needed repairs. And he wanted to upgrade other things. Kept him busy. Kept him out of his head. That and Beef.
Robert kept his head down, focused on one foot in front of the other. Why? Because if he didn't, he'd fall apart. At least, someone started to pick up his wayward pieces on the way.

Summary
“I know you’re there,” he spoke gently, proud when his voice sounded nearly confident in spite of the way his hands were shaking under his desk, “I’ve seen you.”
The air in front of him seemed to shimmer in a way that was almost corporeal. Beneath his lab coat, the hair on his arms was standing on end.
Suddenly, so softly that it could hardly be called a whisper, a man’s voice answered, “So what if I am here? What would it matter anyway?”
Or, a scientist and a skeptic, new Team Physician Dr. Ilya Rozanov holds no belief in ghosts or ghouls or anything remotely supernatural, but soon even he can’t ignore the strange and inexplicable occurrences happening around the university’s sports complex.
Hollander Arena isn’t haunted… except for it sort of, probably is.
